Right now you can visit the tag synonyms page and see the synonyms that have been suggested but not yet approved.

What incentive does the regular user have to go to that page, click on the tag, go to that tag's Info tab, and vote up or down a proposed synonym?

It is not a quick process at all, so I propose that some incentive is added for creating and voting on synonyms. (Badge) Or, alternatively, put the voting right on the page that lists all of the synonym proposals, so it is easier to vote on the proposals.

I'm not opposed to an incentive, but I think retaggers (who already spend time retagging posts without an incentive to do so) would happily propose/vote for a tag synonym rather than doing the retagging manually
